The staff and service was fantastic, the breakfast was well cooked and a late check out as part of the cost made it all extremely worthwhile.

A lovely new hotel, very modern and clean. The room was spacious with a nice comfy sofa as well as a bed. Everything you needed for an overnight stay. Very comfy bed with a good selection of pillows.The staff are very helpful and friendly. There was a good selection of hot and cold food for breakfast, a good variety of options for other meals and a bar open til late. Great location for Barrow or the Lakes in general. Reasonably priced, I would definitely recommend!

Very friendly staff and modern, clean facilities. The one thing I don’t agree with is dogs being allowed in the hotel - creates an unpleasant environment. A gym would be a massive plus. Overall, however, great experience and fantastic staff.
